No frills, nothing more than a ride along the river
Dancing in the light of love
One night it's going to happen
And when that night goes cracking back to daylight
Will you go?

Chorus
Maybe we should take a freighter
Take it now and pay it later
Take it down the blackest river
To a far off shore delivered
Where the stars are always burnin'
Tide is always turning over
And the time is always later
We should take a freighter

Too late, can't stop. The cargo's predetermined
And it's following a spark.
Flickering so far along
I can feel a different beating in the bottom of my heart

Chorus

Freighter goes just where it goes.
And where it stops somebody knows.
But he's not saying anything.
No, he's just nodding the north wind old favors.

Maybe we should take a freighter
Take it now and pay it later
Take it down the blackest river
To redeeming shores delivered
Where the stars are always burnin'
Tide is always turning over
And the time is always later
Maybe we should go.

Maybe we should take a freighter
Take it now and pay it later
Take it down the blackest river
To a far off shore delivered
Where the stars are always burnin'
Tide is always turning over
And the time is always later
We should take a freighter.
